          Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
          of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the

          control over financial reporting that occurred during the small business
          issuers most recent fiscal quarter (the small business issuers
          fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
          affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
          issuers internal control over financial reporting; and

5)    
          The small business issuers other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
          based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
          reporting, to the small business issuers auditors and the audit committee
          of the small business issuers Board of Directors (or persons performing
          the equivalent functions):

a)    
          all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
          of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
          adversely affect the small business issuers ability to record, process,
          summarize and report financial information; and

b)    
          any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
          who have a significant role in the small business issuers internal control
          over financial reporting.
